Artist Statement
An Armillary sphere is an ancient device developed to track the rotation of the sun, moon, and celestial objects around the earth (a fixed sphere in the axis.) Despite the Armillary’s archaic premise that the heavens rotate around the earth, the instrument was still a useful device that produced accurate results.
